He's not a genuine winger, an average defender and a worse kick.

I'm glad list strategy hasn't been based on sentimentality in this instance. It rarely gets us into a good place.

i wish we were in the hunt for papley, but he's clearly going to the blues on big coin if he goes anywhere

    Does anyone else think it's odd that we've not been linked to / visibly shown interest in Zak Jones? 

    Firstly for obvious reasons, secondly because he has genuine pace (unlike big bro) and plays somewhat unsociably... 

    He's asking for way too much.

    Papley loves Papley. Wouldn't be surprised if he's asked for very big coin.

    Elliott is the better player. Papley is a good player, but reckon we need someone with more zip than Papley.

    Anyway, he clearly priced himself out of the market and nommed the Blues, so game over.

    Elliott, Tomlinson and Langdon covered by Mahoney today. Any other wildcard trades??

    It just means we've got those guys over the line. We don't tend to come out and say something and then have it fall over.

    I hope we've got more up our sleeve as well.

    The way we've signed up about 8 blokes I reckon we will target those 3 in particular and then turn to the draft and top up with kids.

    Out of the Tomlinson, Elliot and Langdon, for mine, Langdon will end up the best get. I'm a little ambivalent about Tomlinson and Elliot will need to get on the park more. Happy enough if two out of the three do well. Then we aim to do well with the kids at the pointy end. I'd love MFC to take a punt on Kemp and they may if they have those three in the bag.

    I know Mahoney shot down any rumour of a Brayshaw trade however I heard that Angus took a tour of Fremantle’s training base yesterday in Cockburn. Make of it what you will. 

    Langdon and pick 7 for Brayshaw?

    Cerra, @Pennant St Dee?

    i don't think there is anything to the rumors about Gus but if we hypothetically did trade him, i think we'd end up regretting it as much as the Tyson/Salem deal

    Angus Brayshaw did a tour of Cockburn yesterday. Could he be joining his brother Andrew in 2020? #foreverfreo #AFLTrade

    Cheers Dazzle, I had a text from a Freo mate, I’m guessing this is where it came from. Nothing to see here.

    Disagee, I think Papley has significantly more zip than Elliott, especially given Jamie's age and injury history. Elliott's the better player close to goal given his marking ability but Papley can do a lot more defensively, up the ground creating goals and can even rotate in to the midfield and be very handy on ball. The combined cost of the contract and draft picks are just too much for him. Him going to Carlton now reminds me of us signing Lever - and not to bad mouth the player or the deal - but it's the kind of big splash move you make once you've finished drafting a heap of talented kids and you can afford a luxury.

    Would love Cerra as you know, but Gus isn't going anywhere and we need to keep him, He'll bounce back

    Hearing whispers that Jacob Townsend of Richmond is going to be delisted, don’t know much about him, is he done or will he make it to another club?  #ETthetradebreaker.

    His only saving grace is that he played for the Tigers, and it could be argued that their depth kept him out.

    But you won't find me using that argument.  I can't see him getting a gig at another club.

    I don’t think he’ll get another gig either. After doing a bit more research, I read he was delisted last season and picked up by Richmond again as a rookie after no other club wanted him as a DFA.

    Saints have approached nearly every player in the AFL, about playing with them. Those missed have been sounded out by Carlton. 

    Saints apparently into Hill, Jones, Ryder, Butler and Howard, as named so far, while Blues into Papley, Martin, Butler and Betts.

    I like Rotham as a player from the Eagles. He is going to be a very good player. Plays defence. However, I can see him playing outside midfield/wing and can push forward with his size. He is from WA. ?? 

    Ben King, Casboult, Newnes, Farrel (PTA), Zac Langdon, Kamdyn McIntosh, Petruccelle should all be considered.

    Sweet mother of Christ. If you’re treating text messages from Freo mates as legitimate intel worth posting you’re contribution to this Board is even more negligible than I ever thought it could be.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
